When and how do you start to create?

I was asked to be photographed for a friends promotional materials in April of 2007. I shot with Alex Covo, a fashion photographer in NYC. Implied nudes were included in the requested content, and after realizing how well we worked together, I was asked to help him with a personal project. After our second shoot, with resulting images consistently appealing, Alex advised me to start freelancing as a nude art model. He supplied me with a few websites where I could network and give myself some exposure. I continued to gain experience, and was contacted by many talented photographers, who helped further my career. Everything else fell into place.
